You can delete the prototype/scriptaculous and rails.js libraries. Then copy jquery and the ujs adapter for jquery to you javascripts directory and include them in your layout.
I recommend checking out the rails3-generators plugin. It provides generators for common tasks like this. In the jquery case you would just run the
rails g jquery:installgenerator and the files would be copied for you and the JAVASCRIPT_DEFAULT_SOURCES set in an initializer so thatjavascript_include_tag :defaultsstill works.
